The Voyage began in Tahiti on the August 19 with the launch of the va'a tipaerua Fa'afaite. Using the celestial navigation methods Pacific voyagers have used for thousands of years, the crew will guide the Fa'afaite across more than 4,300 kilometres of open ocean to join the flotilla.

New Zealand Archaeology Week 2020 will run from 24 April to 3 May.
This will be the fourth New Zealand Archaeology Week. The event has been able to develop and
grow due to the wonderful effort and input from the archaeological community, heritage
organisations and tangata whenua. In addition, I would like to thank everyone who took time to
provide feedback on the 2019 event. The feedback that has been provided to me will be very useful
in organising future Archaeology Week events.
The basic objective of New Zealand Archaeology Week is to increase public awareness of
archaeology in New Zealand. Archaeology Week promotes the work of New Zealand archaeologists
both at home and abroad as well as promoting the importance of protecting our archaeological
heritage. The types of events that would be appropriate for New Zealand Archaeological Week could
include a special exhibition at a museum, public talks on archaeological work in New Zealand or
abroad, historic walks promoting the archaeology of a town, archaeological site visits and/or visits to
an excavation. If you’re looking for inspiration, check out the previous events on the NZAA website.
The NZAA has funding available to assist organisations with the costs associated with running
Archaeology Week events, such as printing costs, venue hire, etc. If you would like a little bit of extra
help with your event’s then please email the secretary@nzarchaeology.org . The NZAA will review
each request on a case-by-case basis.
The website for New Zealand Archaeology Week 2020 will be set up shortly. Once online you will be
able to see what is happening in your area as events are added.
Area Coordinators are being formalised now. Presently I have coordinators for Wellington, Thames-
Coromandel and the Hawke’s Bay. I am seeking coordinators for Christchurch, Auckland and
Dunedin. In addition, it would be good to have coordinators in the top of the South Island, Waikato
and Southland in order to help facilitate and help the even grow in these areas.
Please contact me at archaeologyweek@nzarchaeology.org for more information or to discuss
possible events and/or interest in New Zealand Archaeological Week 2020.

Ed: Archaeology of a sort I suppose - but is the risk somehow aligned to the the treasure hunting ethos?
